Jules Olitski: [WG.150] Olitski Paintings

We are pleased to invite you to Jules Olitski's exhibition Olitski Paintings.

 

One of the foremost figures of postwar American abstraction, Olitski rose to prominence in the 1960s as a central voice in Color Field painting, liberating color from drawing to breathe across the canvas as pure sensation. By the 1970s and 1980s, he turned toward a far more physical approach, building paint in dense, heavily textured impasto, scraping and layering pigment until the canvas became almost sculptural. The works in this exhibition, painted between 1989 and 1993, belong to this late and deeply personal period, charged with a spiritual intensity that is felt as much as understood.

 

Olitski Paintings is the first presentation of Olitski's late paintings in Sweden.
